CRHRA Presents: Wellness in the Workplace - Best Practices for Lowering Costs and Improving Health

Albany, NY - The Capital Region Human Resources Association (CRHRA) will hold the next Monthly Meeting and Program on Thursday, February 11, 2010.

It is without question that employers need affordable health care options for employees. With the recent passage in the House and Senate of bills to overhaul the country’s health care system, the employer community anxiously awaits to see whether the compromise bill will deliver on the promise to provide relief from ever-increasing health care costs. Notwithstanding the work that is taking place at our nation’s Capital, employers are asking what they can do now to reduce costs and improve employee’s health.

Join us for breakfast on February 11, 2010, when Kristie L. Robertson, Director of Worksite Health Initiatives at the American Cancer Society will conduct an interactive presentation on workplace wellness and prevention program options, including their effectiveness and return on investment. There is a general consensus that investments in employer-sponsored wellness programs reduce overall health care costs for employers and employees and generate savings for the nation’s health care system as a whole. Come learn what other local organizations are doing and what preventative health care measures your organization can adopt to improve workers’ health and drive down health care costs.

This event begins with registration from 7:00am – 7:30am, breakfast buffet from 7:30am – 8:00am, and program from 8:00am – 9:00am at the Holiday Inn Turf on Wolf Road in Albany.
